“Kana made Tokyo feel like it our home and family”
Prior to arriving Kana made sure to ask and listen for what was important to us. We started with a coffee in Asakusa, got to know each other- walked the temple area where she shared the history. Then we shared an amazing tea ceremony, visited the local area around Tokyo, had authentic lunch together and could not have enjoyed the day any more. Kana is sweet and communicates very well as made us feel every bit a part of her Japan family. We would absolutely recommend her for travelling around Tokyo!

“Like visiting a longtime friend!”
It being our first trip to Japan, my husband and I were super excited. I did a lot of research, even got a Japanese tutor and got to practice some Japanese conversation. Kanasan was amazing, took us to a fantastic Tonkonsu restaurant, visited the Meiji shrine and did some shopping . We can’t wait to visit Japan for our 20th anniversary next year and of course will be hiring Kana again! Thank you for making our trip beyond our expectations. Arigato! Maria & Phil

“Kana is Ichiban!”
Traveling outside the United States was something I had always dreamed of, especially visiting Japan, but as someone who is visually impaired, I was understandably nervous. All of that changed thanks to Kana. From the moment we met, she went above and beyond to ensure I had an incredible experience. She was incredibly thoughtful, pointing out details I might have missed and helping me truly connect with the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Japan in ways I never imagined possible. Beyond being an amazing guide, Kana was also a joy to spend time with—our conversations were fun, meaningful, and made the trip even more memorable. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine passion for what she does made all the difference. I honestly can’t wait to return to Japan—and when I do, I’ll be booking Kana again without hesitation. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s not just a guide; she’s the BEST guide.

Let's make your journey memorable one together.
